Is arc cos(-sqrt(3)/2) = 5pi/6 AND 7pi/6?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Look at the table shown on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric_functions You'll see that the range of arccosine is `0 <= y <= pi`. So the angle will be either in Q1 or Q2

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

why?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

why the range?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ohh bc arc means inverse?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes arccosine = inverse cosine

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

yeah the inverse lol
